Travel Expert and Author Leads Women’s Tour to Bhutan

Seattle, WA – 5/08

Experience Bhutan with travel expert and author, Beth Whitman. This exclusive tour is organized through All Bhutan Connection, located in Thimphu, Bhutan, and will take place from April 26th through May 9th, 2009. This very unique adventure will include a cooking class, a visit to a nunnery and the opportunity to donate books to school children. The tour also includes the chance to explore village life, attend a religious festival and experience the spectacular landscape and architecture of this little-known country in the Himalayas.

With only 18,000 people visiting Bhutan in 2006, few travelers have yet discovered this gem in the mountains tucked between India and China. This tour is open to just 15 women and is an opportunity to enjoy an intimate and inside look at this remote region.

The group will visit Bhutan’s most famous Buddhist temples, sacred sites, and museums, attend festivals with elaborately costumed monks, trek through the stunning mountains and meet the local people with an opportunity for a homestay.

Beth Whitman, author of the Wanderlust and Lipstick guides for women travelers is leading this twelve-day tour while All Bhutan Connection is handling all logistical aspects in-country.

This all-inclusive tour includes airfare from Bangkok, Thailand and all costs within Bhutan including domestic travel, food, lodging, guides and interpreters. For pricing and a detailed schedule, please click here or contact:
